I didn't say I never saw the claim made in the video, I just didn't want to slog through it again to find it. Then as now, I took what was claimed with a grain of salt. I figured, and appear to be correct, that they cherry picked only sites that happen to fit on their 'line' including many spots without any architecture but "known" home of the gods by certain cultures. They also lie when they say it is a "hundred kilometer wide line" when just going from Pachacamac to the Tiwanaku Archaeological Site is over 1000km at a virtual right angle to the line connecting Easter Island and the Giza Pyramids. They have to ignore all of the Mayan AND Aztec ruins, pyramids and temples in Mexico as well as many other famous sites around the world such as Stonehenge in order to coincide with their 'line.' It seems to me to be an obvious case of putting a circle around some carefully chosen arrows and calling it a bullseye.
You mean architecture that holds up well to earthquakes because of 'far from perfect' joints between mud bricks?

Your whole premise is based on arrogant and frankly racist premises, i.e. there is no way these primitive people could have built x or y without special advanced knowledge. Ancient humans were as intelligent as we are and many were talented mathematicians and engineers. There are many ancient structures that show ingenious design and execution but are no more a mystery than the Empire State Building. Hagia Sofia in Constantinople has been mentioned previously. It is studied by modern engineers for it's earthquake-proof design yet it was built in 537 CE and have plenty of historical construction documentation. If Hagia Sofia could be built 1500 years ago much better than we could construct it today with all our modern technology, why is it such a stretch that the Egyptians, some of the smartest people who ever lived on this earth in any time, could build a pyramid, or the Mayans, or Incas or whoever?
